There are a few things that have played on my mind today having read Glamour Magazine (I’m opening this blog post with this information for the benefit of those who wish to know where I have got my inspiration from!).

Firstly, and I know this is quite a com (new abreev) question that people ask, if you knew that today was going to be your last day alive then would you have done what you have done?! Interesting question I feel as I’m pretty certain if it was mine I wouldn’t have gone to work! But we have to don’t we?? We have to carry on in life regardless of the shit that it throws at us. We have to be strong. We have to hold our head high and put our best foot forward. It’s what we, as humans, although I use that word loosely, do best.

It’s so easy to see family/friends/friends of friends/acquaintances/strangers go through hard times, times that we feel would be impossible for us. I’ve often said myself, ‘I literally don’t know how I would cope’. I consider myself fortch that I’m not in their shoes, that I haven’t had to experience their pain. But the bottom line is, whatever life throws at us, however hard, however impossible it feels at the time, we get through it. Because we have no choice. Because life is worth living! And because I truly believe that no one on this earth is given a cross to bear that they are not strong enough to carry. So next time life feels unfair, you feel picked on or if it just all gets a bit much, remember that you are strong enough and that cross will gradually get lighter.

Secondly, if someone wrote a book about your life to date, would you read it to the end?! Would your life be a page turner? It’s an interesting thought isn’t it?! Sure, some things would be as dull as hell, all the mundane stuff that we’ve all done - school for example. But we’ve all got stuff we’ve achieved and are proud of. It’s good for us to think about these things sometimes, to appreciate just how f***ing fantastic we are! I’ve nearly finished a law degree whilst working full-time - I don’t care if anyone else is proud of me, I’ve done it for myself and I couldn’t be prouder of me!
